Memphis

Summary

Natural leader with the innate ability to manage/motivate people towards one common goal. While at the same time, at the Academy, I was a four-year starter on the pitching staff and voted Captain my senior year. At my first unit on board the Coast Guard Cutter Jacob Porro, my boat set the record for interdictions on the maritime border and was awarded an achievement medal for it, not a common award for first-tour officers. Everywhere I go, I work hard and produce results.
